"It seems that you’re troubled by love. But to be honest, I'm really curious about your boyfriend. What does he do? He is so busy, and I haven't seen him drive you to or off work. I've never seen him text you. What the hell does he do?"
"Actually, he is indeed a little busy, so..."
Bella smiled embarrassingly and prevaricated.
The relationship between her and Charlie couldn't be exposed to her colleagues in the company, so she had to hide it.
"Being busy is just an excuse. Don't spoil a man. The more indulgent you are, the more presumptuous he is. You are his girlfriend
now. No matter what kind of request you make, it is normal and reasonable. You have to take advantage of this time period, or your boyfriend will be attracted by another woman!"
Hearing the last sentence, Bella was a little frightened.
She knew that her colleague was absolutely right in saying this. After all, there were not a few women around Charlie, and they were all beautiful.
Thinking of this, she became more and more at a loss.
When it was time for work, the two did not continue to chat and went to work separately.
But Bella kept brooding about those words.
When it was time for lunch, after saying goodbye to her colleagues, Bella picked up her bag and ran out of the company. She planned to go to the restaurant.
Charlie was still busy.
Bella walked into the restaurant and said," Let's go to lunch first. No matter how busy we are, we should have lunch."
Putting down the things in his hand, Charlie raised his brows slightly and nodded. They still went to the restaurant that they had been to several times before.
After they had ordered the dishes, the waiter went out. Twisting the strap of her bag under the table, Bella bit her lower lip and asked, "Can we talk about what I said to you last night?"
